Chapter 7

I completely forgot about my English Essay that was due today. I had be so busy thinking about Sophie that the assignment slipped my mind. My eyes flew open from a dead sleep when I felt a cool breath rush throw the room. Blinking at the dark sky i realized it was raining. Sophie and her family would probably be at school today. I turned to my clock. 7:04, it was early but i had to write that essay. I quickly got dressed. And headed down to the kitchen.

"Morning honey, your up early" My mom smiled from behind her newspaper.

"Ya, I have so work to do at school."

"Oh, well have a good day, I'm going to be late to night."

"'Kay" i smiled grabbing my coat and car keys.

"Love you"

"Love you too mom." I ran out through the lite mist smiling, and quickly pulling from the drive way.

I scanned the lot out of habit though I'm sure the Cullen's wouldn't be at school this early, and grabbed my things running into the school and went straight to the library.

SPOV

I scanned the lot and found Marks car parked in the far corner closest to the school.

Stepping out the car i scanned the thoughts of the other students.

Wow, the Cullen's are back.

I wonder if i should ask them how hiking went... No Sara your crazy. Grandma's right theres no way the Cullen's go to my school

"You hear that Edward?"

"Ya, Jessica Stanley's granddaughter goes to our great school" Edward smiled. "She, thinks she crazy" he added a laugh.

"Come on Sophie were going to be late!!" Reneesme yelled pulling on my arm. I was nervous to see Mark.

MPOV

I walked throw the auditorium, with Alice and Jacob. They were both all smiles talking about the wonderful hiking trip they went on over the past few days. "It was great, do you like hiking?" Alice asked. But it was too late we came throw the doors and Sophie was leaning against the walk, with a beautiful smiled. I hadn't finished my essay so i skipped English.

"Hey, where were you this morning?" she asked taking a step out from the walk and handing me my sweater.

"Didn't finish my homework"

"Ahh" we walked throw the doors of the Caf and turned to join my friends. "Oh, Mark?"

"Ya?"

"Would you like to sit with me today?" she wanted to sit with me?

"Sure" i smiled and followed her to a table just a few over from her family.

We settled in and i could feel the gang staring us down.

"I think your girlfriend is made at me" Sophie laughed.

I turned around and saw Christy mouthing something, then I turned back to Sophie. "She's not my girlfriend."

"That's good to hear, I don't really want any enemies"

"So, how was your trip?" i asked changing the subject.

"It was fun, I love the out doors."

"Sophie?"

"Ya?"

"Can.. can we talk?"

"We are talking Mark" she stared at me, giving me a funny look. "What about?"

She looked a little worried. "Not in here... lets go into the auditorium." i smiled and got up from my chair, she followed behind me. I opened the door politely.

"I'm going to put a note on Mr. Leys door telling him we are in here working" i smiled and quickly ran to the class room.

When i returned Sophie was laying out on the stage. "So," i said taking a seat next to her. "I have a couple of questions for you."

"I have a few for you as well." i smiled she had questions for me.

"Ladies first"

she smiled thinking, "Okay, I told you about my family on Monday, tell me about yours"

"My family? Thats the best you got.... Okay, I'm an only child. My parents had me when they were super young, my mom was fifteen. Young love, is what my grandma called it. She was so against abortion so she wouldn't let mom do it. That pissed my dads parents off to no end, but they wouldn't let there son not help raise me. So they tried living together. Hell when i was 5 they even got married. It didn't turn out so well, they wanted different things. My dad lives in Toronto, i visit him in the summer sometimes not as much as I use to."

"Wow, thats amazing"

"It's my turn" i smiled.

"Okay, shoot"

"well, okay your probably going to laugh at me but, well... Sara. My friend the small one with blond hair." she nodded. "Well, her grandmother, Jessica, she went to high school in Forks, thats were Alice said you use to live."

"Oh, yes what about it?"

"Well, its just. Jessica told Sara that she went to school with a Cullen family. I just figured it was probably your dads, parents, but Jessica also told Sara that the Cullen's she went to school with names. And well they were the same as your brothers and sisters. And there was a girl named Bella, I thought it was just weird. Then i went home.. and this probably sounds crazy but i looked up your family,on the school site and i found three results for Cullen's, Edward, Emmet and Alice" i was speaking as fast as i could trying to get everything out before she decided to call me crazy and run... but she didn't she just sat still watching me.

She sat up and watched me, staying completely frozen, then after about three minutes she shook her head.. "and?"

"and, well.. there was a Student Bio and it said that Edward Cullen started dating a girl named Bella Swan and that the couple got married early and moved away. It also said Edward parents were Carlise and Esme." she stared at me a little more. "That was fifty years ago." she just smiled.

"And? What you think my parents are over fifty years old, that my brothers and sisters are what... sixty seven, have you seen them?"

"Ya.. well no. i didn't believe it, then i went to Google and looked up you brother Jacob. And i found a website for a tribe in Washington. And i wasn't so sure about it because Jacob said your mom found him in the south. But then i found a picture of Jacob and a man in a wheel chair that was dated almost fifty years ago. So i started reading about the tribe and i found a ... well never mind" I turned to look around the room, this was awkward. I walked over to the drum kit and sat down. Sophie stayed in her place and watched me. I started to hit away at the drums, playing the song I hard wrote for her over the last three days.

She got up and sat on the stool next to me. "that was really good" she smiled.

"Thanks"

"Did you write it?"

"Ya..." i looked over my shoulder. "For you" i turned back and saw her smiling.

She took my hand from where it rested on my lap, and flipped it over in her hands. Her skin was so cold.

"I really want to hear your question you know... you never really asked one"

"I guess your right... but you will laugh at me"

"I promise i wont" she smiled and batted her eye lashes.

"well the legends, talked about these, people that the tribe called the cold ones," she pulled her hand away. "i looked up cold ones... and well the search said that cold ones was another way to say...Vam..Vamp..Vampire"

she stared at me half smiling, half worried. "Vampires" she laughed once and only once. "You think my Family are Vampires" she had this strange almost scary tone to her voice. I sat looking at her, then blinked once.

"well, it's just" i coughed to clear my throat. I hadn't asked her a question yet. The best way to find out any truth was to start small. "Sophie?" i asked catching her a little off guard. "Do you trust me?"

This time she blinked. "Do I trust you?"

"Ya, it's hard to tell someone the truth if you don't trust them, and as crazy as i think i am about this vampire thing... I really do want the truth. But it that is true, it's kind a big deal, a huge secret, and i don't want you or your family to ever think that you could trust me. Do you trust me?"

She stared at me for a minute for face going blank. Then she smiled. "You're not crazy"
